His Spirit

As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning. Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
Acts 11:15?-?16 NIV

May the promised spirit
That our Lord brought forth
Through His death 
Resurrect within one who seeks
May what you are looking for in another
Manifest and make known unto you
This hope was closer than the skies.
In the midst of your bosom awaiting.
From an unknown source of a flowing fountain 
As the wind blows the sound and effects are seen
May this wind stir one up within
With the effects of a new heart and mind.
The trumpet sounds and shakes the soul.
That this Jesus is alive .
On the tips of your tongue
One shouts and tells of this Jesus
That has been given this inexpressible joy
Peace, and love for all within.
To create, purify and mold one
Into a new creation
Refined through Christ 
A branch in the pit 
Snatched out the fire
To be engrafted in the living vine.
Praying for any that seeks
That you become full of peace,
Comfort, joy with a new love within.
To receive new guidance and vision
That this is a lost dying world around us.
Which needs this spirit within to create change.
May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you
With His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance

The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”
Acts 10:45?, ?47 NIV

It is great to see that you love the Lord with all your being, and the blessing of the Lord, it makes you rich (in spirit, soul and mind) and He adds no sorrow with it. Julius

Delighted to see this spiritually based work you have penned. I enjoyed reading. We definitely don't want to be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. When a pathologist does an autopsy on a person's body, he will never say he found their mind and it was damaged because the mind is invisible, and it goes on to eternity with the spirit as I believe it is part of the spirit. Those of us who have been born again need to open our minds to the filling of it. Sara

All glory to God, very much enjoy reading your comments, indeed invisible as the wind that blows the trees the effects are seen as when the spirit comes into one the effects of a renewing of the mind and heart, newfound love for all, sadly this world is out to destroy this love, May God bless, comfort, guide and you with His love, peace, spirit and joy in abundance: )

They think that, when you hear the gospel, you start working, creating by your own strength a thankful heart which says, ''I believe.'' That is what they think true faith is—Martin Luther --The holy spirit within to create change, good works yes! Thank you for your visit

Amen, Anaya this is the truth , sadly but true is why we have so much division in religion, it takes the spirit to reveal this deception many fall into, it takes the work of the spirit to create within us a new creation indeed, if we could could be good on our own Jesus died in vain, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance: )

".....this is a lost dying world around us. Which needs this spirit within to create change". Only the Holy spirit can give us a new heart and mind and renew our life. Unfortunately the world is blind to the teachings of Christ and prefer to remain in darkness. Those who have known the love of Jesus are fortunate. May the resurrected Jesus fill you with joy, peace and cheer!

Amen valsa, this is the truth, such was I a part of the dying world,only by the spirit within creating new heart and mind, it's not that I would claim to be good, but the spirit revealed unto me how deceived I was from world teaching,then seperated old self to strive to be who God would desire: ). Not by own works but through the spirit: )
